Comment (by ajd):
Okay, so I've got the information now. It is a problem with the system
pwd, but that problem is caused by GHC, so I think it's still a bug.
After I installed today's head with {{{ PREFIX=/usr/local }}}, a binary
called "pwd" was installed into /usr/local/bin. When I typed make again
inside the GHC source tree, the first lines of output were
{{{
Bad args: []
Usage: pwd {forwardslash|quadruple-backslash}
Bad args: []
Usage: pwd {forwardslash|quadruple-backslash}
}}}
When I remove /usr/local/bin/pwd (thereby making the first pwd in the PATH
/bin/pwd), there were no warnings.
I am on i686 linux. type pwd says shell builtin, which pwd says
/usr/local/bin/pwd.
So I think that GHC should not install its own pwd, at least not into the
public binaries directory.
